"Not optimistic?"

Hearing Zhang Dingshan's words, Lu Qingliang was startled: "What's not optimistic about this? Although the damage to Binhai Building exceeds expectations, our technology is quite good for building repairs. I know a professional

Can’t we just ask the building restoration team to come over?”

He Wei very much agrees with this.

In the final analysis, this kind of thing is a matter of input-output ratio. As long as you are willing to invest money and resources, what building cannot be repaired?

When it comes to money and resources, Operations Team 2 never fails.

Not to mention restoring it to its original state, at least maintaining the status quo from deterioration does not seem to be a difficult task.

But Zhang Dingshan still looked serious, and Lu Ming didn't look relaxed at all.

"It is not difficult to repair. What is difficult is to restore it without destroying the original architectural pattern."

Lu Ming said directly: "Don't forget the dragon-suppressing stake."

He Wei and Lu Qingliang were silent at the same time.

The main building of Binhai Building is an important part of the dragon-suppressing pile. The main purpose of the building god destroying Binhai Building - if the building god really destroyed Binhai Building, its main purpose was to "break the formation" and break the dragon-suppressing pile formation.

.

And if the Binhai Building is to be repaired, this kind of repair involving the overall stress and load-bearing structure will almost certainly involve changes to the entire building. How can this be possible?

The specific principle of the dragon-suppressing pile formation that restricts the building god, and the principle of its operation, are all unknown at this moment. Which changes made to the building will affect the formation, and which changes will not affect the formation, there is no way

Sure.

So, what if the repair of the building affects the formation?

Wouldn't this directly help Lou Shen get out of trouble?

This almost brought the matter of repairing the Marina Building to a dead end.

However, if it is not repaired, it will gradually turn into a dangerous building? And then collapse?

Zhang Dingshan let out a sigh of relief.

"Thankfully, we still have time. Don't touch it for now."

It takes several years or more for a building to turn from intact to dangerous, and then to collapse. So, maintain the status quo, and during this time, complete the entire investigation and find out everything about the building god.

Mystery, properly handling this case is the only feasible way.

To this, Lu Ming, He Wei, and Lu Qingliang all nodded in agreement.

"This at least proves from the side that maybe the dragon-suppressing pile really has some function that we don't know yet. And it is this function that limits the building god."

If Lu Ming's previous speculation about "the dragon-suppressing pile is actually useful, not useless" was just air-to-air without any evidence, then at this moment, this speculation has considerable credibility.

Speaking of this, Lu Ming suddenly had some ideas in his mind.

But before he could express his thoughts, Zhang Dingshan's cell phone suddenly rang. He answered the call, and after listening to a few sentences, his expression gradually became serious.

After a while, the phone hung up.

"A piece of bad news." He said directly: "The condition of the Binhai Building has deteriorated much faster than expected and is still accelerating. We don't have as much time as we thought before."

"oh?"

This news shocked several people's hearts.

"The reason is? How long do we have?"

"The reason is unknown. It is damage inside the building. Currently, it can only be detected through the wall through flaw detection equipment. There are no physical specimens for analysis yet. If there is time..."

Zhang Dingshan said solemnly: "If calculated according to the current damage acceleration rate, the possibility of partial collapse of Binhai Building will rise to about 1% in at most two months."

"How could it be so fast!"

Not only Lu Ming, but also He Wei and Lu Qingliang were shocked.

I have never seen a reinforced concrete building damaged so quickly! Even if it is soaked in sea water, it cannot be damaged so fast!

“Previously, the inspection team calculated the damage to the building based on the more than 20 years since construction was completed, and predicted the future damage progression at this rate.

However, the latest research has found that although the damage rate of Binhai Building in the past 20 years is still higher than that of ordinary buildings, although there is no reasonable explanation, the higher rate is not much, and it is only about twice that of ordinary buildings.

about.

And, the rest, accounting for about 80% of the overall damage at this moment, all occurred in the past year. Yes, the damage to Binhai Building is increasing extremely rapidly."

"In the past year?"

This time point attracted He Wei's attention.

"Did anything happen in the past year?"

She thought silently for a while, then suddenly raised her head, and saw the same look of shock in Lu Ming's eyes.

"Wu Xiuzhu!"

About a year ago, the property manager Liu Hui of the Binhai Building issued an order to the security team to strictly monitor Wu Xiuzhu, who had been fired, and prohibited her from entering again because of her repeated intrusions.

At this moment, there is no evidence that there is a connection between the two. But at least... the times roughly overlap.

However, from a reasoning perspective, at least when discussing the case, it is possible to temporarily link these two matters together.

If the damage to the Binhai Building is really due to the "God of the Building" breaking the formation, and it is really because of Wu Xiuzhu's departure that accelerated the progress of the God of Building breaking the formation, this seems to mean that the previous speculation

Among them, Wu Xiuzhu's "pacifying" effect on Lou Shen, an unknown intelligent creature, does exist.

Or maybe, from the very beginning of the completion of the Binhai Building, the building god has been unwilling to be oppressed by the dragon-suppressing pillar and has secretly begun to break the formation?

But at that time, because of the existence of the "formation host", or because they still trusted the Wu family father and daughter, they didn't go all out?

Until Wu Xiuzhu was unable to enter for some reason - it is possible that the building god did not know that Wu Xiuzhu was "for some reason". It may have thought that Wu Xiuzhu had "betrayed" itself and had completely lost hope, so it desperately started to break the formation?

If this is really the case, then there can be a reasonable explanation for why Wu Xiuzhu was killed by the building god after a period of time and gained the right to re-enter the Binhai Building.

This is Lou Shen's revenge for his "betrayal".

Lu Ming took a deep breath and said slowly: "We can ask the inspection team to continue testing to see if the damage rate of Binhai Building has increased again in the past month. If so, then the building god will not

The purpose of killing people intermittently in Binhai Building is to break the formation, so it can be confirmed."

Zhang Dingshan nodded: "I have this plan. However, to conduct such a precise test, we need to break open the Binhai Building and take out the specimens from inside."

Lu Ming knew why Zhang Dingshan was hesitating.

Although from the perspective of the building as a whole, drilling a larger hole in its foundation or wall somewhere will not have much impact. But when it comes to things that are full of metaphysics, such as dragon-suppressing piles and building gods, the situation

Maybe it's different.

This kind of thing must be done with caution.

Unfortunately, Zheng Peng has been killed at this moment, and there are no professionals in metaphysics to provide advice. However... I am afraid that even if Zheng Peng is still alive, he will not be able to provide any valuable advice.

After all, even he himself didn't believe in such a thing as the dragon-suppressing stake.

This decision can still only be made by Operation Team 2 themselves. The basis for making this decision will also be the judgment between expected risks and potential benefits, and does not involve any metaphysical aspects.

"I agree to break open the building."

"I abstain."

Lu Qingliang thought for a while, then finally shook his head and chose not to express his position.

He Wei thought for a long time with full of contradictions, then gritted her teeth and said: "I support the break."

"good."

Zhang Dingshan nodded, immediately picked up the phone and sent the instructions.

"The results will be available within six hours. Let's wait for a while. Now, if there is nothing else, everyone should go and rest first."

"Wait a moment."

Lu Ming raised his hand, and after everyone looked at him, he said: "My investigation did not go well. The large-scale specimen collection operation did not find any unknown microorganisms. But before, Captain, your investigation gave

I was inspired, and I thought, maybe I could give it another try.”

"Still trying? With so many specimens, it's impossible for them all to fail, right? If the microorganisms you speculate really exist in Binhai Building, they should have been found long ago."

Lu Ming nodded and admitted directly: "That's true. It's just that... Binhai Building is not ordinary. If, I mean if, it is because of the existence of the Dragon Suppression Pillar that the microorganism cannot leave Binhai Building, or maybe a

If you leave, you will die or decompose?"

In this case, it cannot be found among the specimens.

but……

Isn't this ridiculous?

Do you really think this world has become fantasy and supernatural? What formation can actually affect the life of microorganisms? Will they die as soon as they leave the Marina Building? This formation is better than the disinfection lamp, right?

Seeing the incredible looks in He Wei and Lu Qingliang's eyes, Lu Ming himself felt a little ashamed.

"Well, this is indeed a bit ridiculous, but... let's give it a try. If this possibility is not ruled out, follow-up work cannot be advanced."

He Wei spread her hands: "It's up to you."

"good."

Zhang Dingshan asked: "What are you going to do?"

"If the restrictions of the Dragon-Suppressing Stake Formation really exist, and those microorganisms will die as soon as they leave Binhai Building...then I will start testing inside Binhai Building."

Zhang Dingshan nodded: "Okay."

Lu Ming took out his mobile phone and sent a new command.

Following Lu Ming's instructions, outside the Binhai Building, a team led by a microbiologist, fully armed and carrying a large amount of professional testing equipment, entered the Binhai Building again.
